Within weeks, the name was being overheard at after-afters. The goal was simple: 1,000 real Mexico City followers to gain leverage with organizers. By year end, I’d been to 100+ events in six months between NYC and CDMX. Zero revenue. Zero events produced. Pure scene mapping. + +**2022: CDMX growth.** The Rave Pass launched on a private Instagram account. Followers went from 200 to 5,000. WhatsApp grew from zero to 1,800 members. All word of mouth, zero ad spend. Started DJing at underground events — imposter syndrome was real but the crowds danced harder to the unhinged stuff. Every time. + +**2023: CDMX maturity, NYC seed planted.** WhatsApp community hit 730+ dark ravers with structured subgroups: rave chats for scene-specific discussion, general chats for cross-scene connection. Returned to NYC in February. A tiny NYC group chat started asking for dark techno recommendations. That was the signal. Step 1: map the NYC dark music scene. Step 2: weekly recommendations. Step 3: go darker. + +* * * + +**2024: NYC launch year.** First NYC event in December 2023. By May 2024, ten events deep. June 2024: slist.net launched. The model was founded on democratized guest lists — free access in exchange for promo support. Moved from the CDMX guest list model to a full NYC event promoter operation. Went from 1-2 events per month to 1-2 per week by end of year. + +The first event was at Olga’s spot — a SoHo loft at 494 Broadway. 60 people showed up with one week of promotion. The data-driven approach was present from day one: I projected 100 at the next venue and 150 by the second event there, based on door data collection. +Diff truncated (76 lines total).
